STELLA is a user-friendly computer software. Build a model by drawing an image of a system and providing mathematical formulas and input data to the system. Based on professional interests, STELLA can be used to establish various system dynamic models in agriculture, ecology, environment, etc., to serve scientific research, teaching, and management.
Teach students how to use STELLA software for system dynamic simulation, and explain the practical application of STELLA software in agriculture, ecology and environmental science through actual cases.
